Hello again! I’m Michelle.

Product Designer based near Vancouver, BC, with extensive experience crafting digital products for consumers and B2B.

Fashion is one of my favourite hobbies – click on my photo to see a random look I’ve styled!

I specialize in navigating complexity and ambiguity

to create intuitive, inclusive, and high-impact solutions. After several years in Health Tech, I’m excited to explore new industries where thoughtful design can make a difference.

Some of my favourite things are:

accessibility
collaboration
continuous learning
visual polish

My design journey started when I was a little girl who wanted to create websites about Disney princesses.

I wasn’t allowed much screen time, so I drew each page on paper and asked people to “click” on links by turning to the next sheet. I didn’t know it then, but I was doing paper prototyping. I’ve been hooked on creating digital experiences ever since!

Today, I still bring that same joy, curiosity, and heart to my work

along with a structured, systems-minded approach shaped by my Illustration Honours degree and deepened through my work in product teams.

I bring a little bit of whimsy too!

Say hi!

I use AI in my work as a creative partner

not a replacement of a human touch. It allows me to speed up research and exploration and iterate on copy, but I always make sure each and every output is well-considered. No shortcuts!

When I’m not designing

I’m usually out walking with a matcha (or hojicha, or chai...). I also love thrifting, a plot-driven videogame, and hanging out with my very round British Shorthair!
